Ah, the wedding. That magical moment, that traditional act that is worshipped in every single culture, where a man and a woman join their lives, and promise devotion and love to each other, for better or for worse, until death brings them apart. This promise also involves a set of values that will mark the relationship, like fidelity and the promise of a future family.

This promise is not to be taken lightly, and as a constant reminder of this promise of love, spouses wear wedding bands for the rest of their lives. Or until they get divorced, as marriages don’t necessarily last a lifetime, like they used to.

When it comes to wedding bands, most people have two choices, designer wedding bands or average wedding bands that are produced in lots.

Designer wedding bands are more expensive, I grant that, but that’s because the quality of the work is completely different. It’s like comparing a Louis Vuitton purse with a purse sold at a garage sale. Sure, they both do the job, but which one is going to be a pride to show and talk about? Besides, in the years to come, when you look at the ring on your finger, do you want to remember your ring as the cheapest thing you could find, or as a work of beauty and perseverance, like your marriage?

Designer wedding bands come with a price for a reason. The handcraftsmanship involved assures you a piece of excellence and beauty that will do justice and reflect appropriately your love and commitment as a couple.

Despite the cost, designer wedding bands are an investment, unlike other parts of the wedding, which are a one time only expense, like the flowers and the rent of the ballroom. Designer wedding bands will stay with you for many years, hopefully for the rest of your life. And in the unfortunate case that you need to part with your designer wedding bands temporally or permanently, you can get much more for them.

Of course, when you’re getting married, you don’t think about that. You think about the ceremony, the reception and the good times ahead of you. And designer wedding bands can enhance all of these life experiences, specially the ceremony. For example, if the bride and groom bought their rings separately, a designer wedding band can be a really nice and exciting surprise when it’s finally revealed, specially at the ceremony. So much in fact, that some designer wedding bands have been known to make the bride cry with joy.

In the end, designer wedding bands are the selection of choice by people who want only the best for themselves and their loved ones.
